Abstract

Results of investigations of the hydrodynamics, flow structure, and operating efficiency of various designs of centrifugal separators with an ascending gas flow are presented.

Technical data are compared for four models of centrifugal separators most frequently employed in industry, and recommendations are given for selection of optimal design.
